dxserver Command—Start, Stop, Install, or Initialize DSAs

The dxserver command starts, stops, installs, initializes, or reports on one or all DSAs.

This command has the following format:

dxserver options;

• forcestop dsaname

  Stops the DSA dsaname even if it has multiwrite queues.

• init dsaname | all

  Signals one or all DSAs dsaname to reread the configuration files (if running). For example:

  dxserver init DemoCorp-Host5-democorp
  

• install dsaname

  Adds dsaname to the list of servers to start at system startup. For example:

  dxserver install DemoCorp-Host5-democorp
  

  Note: On Windows, the dxserver start command implicitly does an install.

• remove dsaname

  Removes dsaname from the auto-startup list, for example:

  dxserver remove DemoCorp-Host5-democorp
  

  Note: You must stop the DSA before you remove it.

• start dsaname | all

  Starts one or all DSAs. For example:

  dxserver start DemoCorp-Host5-democorp
  

• status dsaname

  Reports the running status of a DSA. For example:

  dxserver status DemoCorp-Host5-democorp
  

  If you omit dsaname, the status of all DSAs is reported.

• stop dsaname | all

  Stops one or all DSAs. For example:

  dxserver stop DemoCorp-Host5-democorp
  

• version

  Displays information about the version of CA Directory that is installed.
